T2 Retro Shooter Integration Kit
The are 3 main version of the T2 Integration Kit available: A kit to repurpose the stock A1up deck, our replacement Selector Deck and our replacement Ultimate Deck. The two replacement decks install basically the same, with the exception of mounting the side holsters. The Stock Deck requires transferring the control wires from the stock encoder to our new replacement encoder board.
Stock T2 Deck Installation:
PDubs takes us through the entire Stock Deck install using the new sensors with the stock A1up 17" screen.
PLEASE NOTE: Since this video was made, Retro Shooter has updated their gun kit to require 4 IR modules - all four corners. We have been including 4 IRs in all kits since their announcement. If you have a 2 IR gun, just plug in two sensors. If you have a 4 IR sticker on the bottom barrel of your gun, then you need to use all 4 IRs. The bottom two can be looped underneath between the screen and the control deck.

TIPS and other Info:
Hold Player 2 START + A + B buttons down for 3 seconds to enter the Retro Shooter menu screen. There is no reason to hit the button on the bottom of the console except to change resolutions.
There are two different T2 encoder boards that we have available: Basic and Deluxe. Both encoder boards support full navigation and controls with the Retro Shooter console both in normal and lightgun games. Most other controllers do NOT work in lightgun games.
The Basic encoder board supports one joystick, start and coin/select for Player 1 and Player 2, and four Player 1 action buttons.
The Deluxe encoder board supports a joystick, eight action buttons plus start and coin/select for both Player 1 and Player 2.
There are many controller features and options built in.
Selector Deck:
The Selector Deck comes with a feature to allow for 4 buttons to be assigned to Player 1. Those extra buttons are: C = Player 2 START and D = Player 2 COIN.
To toggle to this 4 button mode, simply hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the RIGHT. This allows for playing stick games that require 3 or 4 buttons. This can be done at any time the arcade is on.
To return to the default 2 button mode, hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the LEFT.
Selector PLUS Deck:
The Selector Deck comes with a feature to allow for 6 buttons to be assigned to Player 1. Those extra buttons are: E = Player 2 START and F = Player 2 COIN.
To toggle to this 6 button mode, simply hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the RIGHT. This allows for playing stick games that require 3 or 4 buttons. This can be done at any time the arcade is on.
To return to the default 2 button mode, hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the LEFT.
Ultimate Deck:
The Ultimate Deck comes with a feature to change the button assignment to be better suited for 4 button games. By default, the button assignment is:
D E F
A B C
To toggle to this 4 button mode, simply hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the RIGHT. The new button assignment will be:

There is also a third mode that inverts the top and bottom rows. Hold Player 1 START and Player 2 START and push the stick to the RIGHT for a second time. The new button assignment will be:
